[In busy streets someone who wants to go unnoticed has two choices, to blend in with the crowd or to hide. The girl was too exhausted to keep up with the bustling of the busy city and so she hid. She didn't even have to try that hard, people rarely looked up and so she was sat balanced on a roof. The roofs here were all pointy unlike the flat ones at home, it made things harder. She was leaning against a chimney eating a plumb she had snatched from a shop earlier.]

To tell the truth, or a believable lie? She didn't even understand the way it worked herself. "Well, you know how a river pushes along. There's a river, and there's a pipe that goes into it. When you turn the knob, it opens up a flap, so the river pushes into the pipe, too. That's how the water comes through. And to get hot water...one of the pipes runs through a fire, and it's somebody's job to keep the fire going. So that when the water gets to us, it's been heated up in that fire. But it has a long way to go, so the water that's already in the pipe gets cold, and we have to wait for the hot water to push it out so the hot water can come through. Make sense?"

"I don't know. It's different in each building. Maybe the basement?"

"I think they'd have to," she agreed.

"It's nice to have hot water, though, isn't it?"
